Lyrics
HIGH HOPES
Verse
You?re walking out on our love
heading out the door
it?s tearing me apart
cause I hoped for so much more
we survived those mines
meddlers and their lies
stress from our folks
and our fight back in July
Chorus
I had HIGH HOPES for you and me
HIGH HOPES for what we could achieve
it?s killing me to see
that?s all they?ll ever be
HIGH HOPES
Verse
Remember that spring day
we talked about our dreams
we said we?d have two kids
buy a house and I believed
we made a solemn vow
together we?d grow old
we?d be best friends
keep each other from the cold
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
After laying the groundwork
for a future bright as day
I cannot believe now
you can throw it all away
Repeat Chorus (two times)
HIGH HOPES
